Re: 16 April 1942 Spitfire claims against JG2

So, it seems that either the Spitfires involved in the combat failed to notice the damage they were doing or the time is wrong. Perhaps 234 Squadron which was attacked by Bf109s while on an ASR escort at the time (17-1800) and lost an aircraft. 7./JG2 claim several Spitfires that day including five at around 1530 in the afternoon. One of these falls at Sangatte at 15.28. Woods and Foreman show just one loss of a Spitfire to enemy fighters on that date despite JG2 claiming 10 and Jg26 adding another.
